Does anybody here have any idea what Sarah Silverman's ethnic background is?

She’s Jewish.

She sprang forth from the god of comedy’s brow fully grown.

She’s hot. Just kidding, I believe she’s Jewish.

All I know is that she’s a Dead Sea pedestrian and funny as hell.

Hawt Hebrew.

Okay, according to NNDB she’s of Russian ancestry.

Her ancestors are from eastern Europe last I heard.

She’s jewish. Ya know, Sarah Silverman

She’s a Loon !
Actually she’s Jewish/Russian

Is being Jewish an ethnicity now?

Russian.

@Hydrogenbond
Actually it’s peculiar in that it’s as much cultural as it is religious so the short answer is yes.

In There’s Something About Mary, you will see a very young Sarah Silverman sitting at the table with Mary’s other friends, when the detective is easedropping.

Her dog’s name is Doug on the show. His real name is duck and he’s a mutt. You are more then welcome for this useless, unasked for, information.

@TheLoneMonk- Yeah, that’s great and all, but what’s the ethnic background of Duck?

He’s a Quacker.

insert rimshot here

She is Polish and Russian.

By the way to all you people that said she was Jewish, yes she is! However, being Jewish is a religion not an ethnicity!

@MBatz It can be both.
